Low energy consequences from supersymmetric models with left-right symmetry

Abstract

We consider several low energy consequences arising from a class of supersymmetric models based on the gauge groups $SU(2{)}_L\times SU(2{)}_R\times U(1{)}_{B-L}$ and $SU(4{)}_C\times SU(2{)}_L\times SU(2{)}_R$ in which the gauge hierarchy and $\mu$ problems have been resolved. There are important constraints on the MSSM parameters $\tan \beta (\simeq m_t/m_b)$, $B$ and $\mu$, and we discuss how they are reconciled with radiative electroweak breaking. We also consider the ensuing sparticle and Higgs spectroscopy, as well as the decays $b\to s\gamma$ and $\mu \to e\gamma$. The latter process may be amenable to experimental tests through an order of magnitude increase in sensitivity.
